My files this morning are gone from the media encoder export folder.

my files for a premier composition were where the media encoder put them (/private/var/folders/nt/zwm5699941v663qzn7479q200000gn/T/Untitled Project_AME/Comp 1.mov). today I woke up to finish the project and all the files in there, are gone. Any ideas? I have tried the usual searching options ! 😞
